Macbeths Paradox
	In the story of Macbeth, Shakespeare uses different characters such as the witches, Lady Macbeth, and Macbeth to show the paradox of fair vs. foul.
	The first part of the paradox is really brought up and told by the witches, when they are introduced in the play and that is the line in which they use.  The quote from Act I Scene I says this, Fair is foul and foul is fair./ Hover through the fog and filthy air  (Elements of Literature; Macbeth).  What this basically is saying is what is what looks good may be fair, but in reality is really foul and vice versa.  The womens language is also full of the imagery of witchcraft and of chaotic weather: thunder, lightning, rain, fog, and filthy air. The lines When the battles lost and won and Fair is foul and foul is fair are the most significant in the scene. On the one hand, these contradictory statements are the kind of riddles we would expect from witches; on the other, the lines suggest a paradox that runs throughout the play: Life frequently presents a confused picture of events in which discerning truth from falsehood is difficult (Cliffsnotes.com).  Theses lines are meant to confuse and bring trifles to ones mind, but show an insight into what might be happening right now or in the future.  Macbeth also responds to the witches foresight for his future in the paradoxical manner when he says, So foul and fair a day I have not seen (EoL; Macbeth).   Macbeth and Banquo have just arrived to hear the prophesies set up by the witches, he says the following explaining it will be a bloody and terrible day because so many will die, but also a good one because I will become king then.  Macbeths first words (So foul and fair a day I have not seen) ironically recall the Witches foul is fair in Scene 1, but Banquo is the first to spot the weird sisters, remarking on the Witches ambiguous and confused appearance: They look not like the inhabitants of the earth, / And yet are on it; they seem to understand him, and yet he cannot be sure; they should be women, and yet they are bearded. Later in the scene, Macbeth remarks that the Witches seemd corporal [physical] and yet they vanish like bubbles into the air  (Cliffsnotes.com).  Banquo also supports Macbeths theory explaining they are natural and of this earth, which seems fair, but deep in his mind he only really knows of them as foul.  Although the witches show a chilling side of the story they arent they only ones that have such an effect.
	Lady Macbeth is a very large part of this paradox in Macbeth often believed to be the paradox herself. 
O, never shall sun that morrow see!/ your face, my thane, is as a book where men/ may read strange matters. To beguile the time,/ Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye,/ your hand, your tongue: look like th innocent flower,/ but the serpent undert. He thats coming/ must be provided for: and you shall put/ this nights great business into my dispatch,/ which shall to all our nights and days to come give solely sovereign sway and masterdom (EoL; Macbeth).
She is said to be the paradox where her face is as nice as an innocent flower, but really she is as evil as a snake beneath a rock ready to strike. In the lines that follow, Lady Macbeth uses several significant metaphors of concealment: Macbeths face is like a book, where men / May read strange matters (6364); then, in a brilliantly ironic reference to the Genesis story, Look like the innocent flower, / But be the serpent under it (6667). The apparent paradise promised by the Witches is soon to become a hell. An important psychological point is also made: Lady Macbeth herself does not hide her feelings in the same way that Macbeth does. She is not rapt in wonderment, simply practical. The last line of the scene, Leave all the rest to me, is quite modern in its tone. With this blunt and chilling imperative, Lady Macbeth completes her transformation from woman to man. From now on, she plays on the reversal of roles; she has adopted the role of man of action, forcing her husband into the more passive role of accomplice (cliffsnotes.com).   Lady Macbeth has finally made the paradox into a person as said she is reversing her roles and becoming the manly figure in the play taking the place of her husband.  It is also shown in the way Macbeth talks to his wife when he is seriously thinking about killing King Duncan.  I am settled, and bend up/ each corporal agent to this terrible feat./ away, and mock the time with fairest show:/ false face must hide what the false heart doth know (EoL, Macbeth).  Her once again he talks about the false face and the fairest show, which could symbolize a show and a fate being fowl as an onion.  Macbeth has been convinced. In words that uncannily recall his wifes, he now puts on the mantle of murderer: the monosyllabic False face must hide what the false heart doth know has a certainty to it that completely overturns his earlier vacillation (cliffsnotes.com).  He is now changing the thoughts in his head to those of murder using the fair vs. foul theme to do it, but also with the help of his lady too.  Lady Macbeth has now changed from an innocent young child to the devil himself with help of her husband, what more fate is there now in the fair vs. foul theme.
	Finally the theme fair vs. foul is truly portrayed in the character Macbeth.  Banquo first starts it off when he says the following about Macbeth, The instruments of darkness tell us truths,/ win us with honest trifles, to betrays/ in deepest consequence (EoL; Macbeth).  He is telling Macbeth he is an instrument of darkness under the kings rule right now.  His balanced sentence structure, opposing honest trifles with deepest consequence and Win us with betrays, reinforces the thematic contrast, as do words and phrases joined to signify opposites and opposition throughout the play (Understanding Macbeth 17).  These certain words are signifying Macbeth as a fair person on the outside by a dark creature on the inside.  Donalbain keeps this same concept going when he explains to his brother what they must do to avoid the killings of this mysterious man which turns out to be Macbeth, To Ireland, I; our separated fortune/ shall keep us both the safer. Where we are/ theres daggers in mens smiles; the near in blood,/ the nearer bloody (EoL; Macbeth).  They are telling one another they must leave for man has a deadly smile upon his face one that doesnt look fair upon them.  He realizes that his father was murdered because of the position he was in. It would be much safer to not be king, despite the loss in power, because the threats are too great. Power serves as both a blessing and a curse (library.advanced.org).  They are reiterating that if both of them leave it will look as though they killed their father and are letting things pass over, but if they stay they will probably be tried and killed what is fair is foul.  Macbeth is the true meaning of fair vs. foul in the way he makes such acts of his own.
This needs a major support overhaul.  You cannot use Cliffnotes, and I suspect that much of your explanation came from there.  You have no works cited page.  Work on this!
